Chapter 781: Trap

Although a group of ministers are very enthusiastic to offer advice, but in fact, it has no effect, and the strategy of really raising troops cannot be decided at the court meeting, because this may be leaked out, the court meeting is finally over, Li Er ordered a group of important ministers to go to the Ganlu Hall to continue the discussion, a group of ministers dispersed, Cheng Yanjin and others also turned their heads and prepared to leave, but turned their heads and found that Li Yong was still standing there stupidly and motionless, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong looked at Li Yong speechlessly, this kid can't be asleep, right? The two of them have the ability to sleep with their eyes open at the court meeting because of their ability to deal with the court, but they can't sleep so dead when they sleep with their eyes open! I don't even know that the court meeting is gone, besides, it's okay to sleep at those boring court meetings in the past, this time the court meeting is related to such an exciting thing as the imperial court sending troops, how can I sleep? After this court meeting, the two of them roared dryly.

"For such an important pilgrimage, why are you still asleep?"

Cheng bit Jin slapped Li Yong on the shoulder and asked, Li Yong came back to his senses and looked around in confusion.

"The Great Dynasty has dispersed?"

Xu Shiji said with a smile.

"Look at you like this, you definitely didn't salute when the saint retired from the court just now."

Li Yong couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, he really didn't salute just now, but didn't he just not salute, it's not a big problem.

Wei Chigong leaned over and asked with a dismissed face.

"I slept so hard at the court, what did I do last night? You kid won't take another concubine, right? ”

Li Yong was very helpless.

"What do you mean? Where am I going to take a concubine? ”

That's the same, if Li Yong takes a concubine, they don't know for no reason, Cheng Yanjin wondered.

"Then why did you sleep so hard?"

Li Yong explained.

"I'm not asleep, I'm thinking about sending troops."

Xu Shiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked.

"Did you come up with something?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"It's a bit of a sign of it."

When Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin heard this, they immediately came up and hurriedly asked.

"What's the sign? Let's talk about it! Let's talk about it! ”

Although they feel that when it comes to the ability to lead troops to fight, even if Li Yong is a rising star, he may not be able to compare with them, but Li Yong has really a lot of ghost ideas, and all the past events have proved that Li Yong's ghost ideas are all very awesome, even Xu Shiji looked at Li Yong very expectantly, and wanted to hear Li Yong's high opinions.

"The saint asked a few princes to go to the Manna Hall quickly."

In the Ganlu Palace, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Xu Shiji and other important civil and military ministers were all listed, Li Er sat behind the imperial case with a normal expression, but there was no anger, but a pair of eyes were very sharp.

"Since the destruction of Goguryeo, it has been rare to see the scene of the Korean Chinese military so bent on planning to send troops, and Songtsen Gampo sent envoys to prevent us from sending troops, but let the whole of the DPRK and the central government twist into a rope, which can be regarded as lifting a stone and shooting oneself in the foot!"

Li Er said in a deep voice.

However, a certain still felt very angry, a certain did not expect that the envoys of Tubo would dare to despise the Tang Dynasty so much, and actually threaten a certain one! This time to send troops, a certain must hit the Tubo people hard, and it is best to leave all the Tubo people in Tuyuhun! ”

Li Xiaogong raised his voice.

"Sage, according to the opinion of the ministers, send a large army to cut off the back road of Tubo, cut off its back road, and then come to an urn to catch turtles."

Li Er got up and came to the map and groaned.

"It's not easy to cut off the back road of Tubo, and you have to catch turtles in the urn, and only mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is definitely not enough, at least you have to send another 100,000 troops!"

Fang Xuanling groaned.

"It's not enough to rely on the grain and grass in Chang'an, Luoyang and Longyou, and we have to continue to mobilize the people to requisition grain and grass."

Wei Zheng couldn't help frowning deeply when he heard this, it is indeed a way to cut off the back road of Tubo, which can completely annihilate the soldiers and horses of Tubo, but to launch so many troops, the consumption of grain and grass can be imagined, and transporting more grain and grass means that you need to wait for more conscripts, and more conscripts will consume more grain and grass, and you will have to delay more agricultural affairs, Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.

"The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo has consumed a lot of grain and grass, if 200,000 troops are dispatched, it will be protracted for a long time, and the grain and grass consumed will be too much.

Li Er turned his head and asked.

"The pharmacist hasn't spoken much in the past two days, does he have a good plan in his heart?"

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"The minister has been thinking about it for the past two days, but he has never come up with a perfect solution."

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"If Wei Gong has any good ideas, you might as well say it first, and then everyone will brainstorm again."

Li Jing took a step forward and pointed to Yutudao.

"Our army is divided into three routes, the main force from this westward, the main force of Tubo must be near the Tuyuhun King City, they know that after our army sends troops, they will inevitably gather troops to block, the battlefield is about here, the main force of Tubo after the defeat of this army, will not immediately flee back to Tubo, will continue to gather troops to fight again, all the way the army will go west along here, and all the way the army will go west along here, forming a situation of encirclement, but there are two problems, one is not sure where Tubo will set the place of the second decisive battle, Whether there will be an unknown path to escape, and second, it is uncertain whether Tubo will increase its troops. ”

Li Er said in a deep voice.

"It's the same as what a certain person thinks, but if the Tibetans will increase their troops, then there will be a large army to meet them, which means that there will be vacancies in the encirclement, and the Tubo people can still continue to flee after the defeat."

A group of Wenchen generals stared at the map and thought about it seriously, of course, there is a great chance of success in this fight, but there is also a great possibility that it is just to repel the Tubo people, and it will not give the Tubo people a heavy blow, it is indeed not difficult to repel the Tubo people, but it is indeed difficult to kill the Tubo people who attacked Tuyuhun, just when everyone was a little worried, Cheng Yanjin turned his head and asked.

"Li Yong, don't you have any ideas?"

Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Li Yong's body, and Li Er said expectantly.

"Li Yong, do you have an idea? Let's talk about it. ”

Although in terms of military ability, Li Yong is still only a late learner, but Li Yong has always been able to create miracles, so Cheng Biting Jin's words are like igniting hope for Li Er, Li Yong coughed dryly and laughed.

"The minister has also thought about it, you can set a trap to lead the Tubo people into an ambush, and then catch them all."

Li Er and the others couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they heard it, they thought that Li Yong could come up with any surprising ideas, but they didn't expect it to be such a simple idea, set a trap to lure the Tubo people into the ambush, this idea is very simple, but this is extremely difficult in practical use, the difficulty is how to lure the Tubo people into the trap, so everyone was a little disappointed when they heard it, because they couldn't imagine anything that seemed to be able to lure the Tubo people into the ambush, because the Tubo people were the defensive side, and their Tang Dynasty was the attacking side, Li Er groaned.

"It's really a good way to set up an ambush, but how to set up an ambush, how to lure the Tubo people into the ambush, this is the difficulty!"

After all, it was Li Yong's method that was proposed, and Li Er didn't veto it, Li Yong's face still had to be given, Xu Shiji also nodded slightly.

"Of course, setting up an ambush can severely damage the Tibetans, but it is not easy to lead the Tibetans into an ambush."

Li Yong said with a smile.

"So, you need a bait, a bait that can make the hearts of the Tibetans move."

Everyone frowned even more when they heard this, what bait can make the hearts of the Tubo people move? Although Tubo is located on the plateau, it is also a country, and gold, silver and jewelry will not be able to lure the Tubo people to take risks, Songtsen Gampo has always wanted to marry the Tang Dynasty, and he can't choose a princess to be the bait, right? Seeing that everyone was still contemplative, Cheng Yanjin felt that everyone must be stupid, since Li Yong could put forward this idea, it means that Li Yong must have a target, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said.

"Li Yong, if you have any ideas, just say it!"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it, it turned out that Li Yong had already made a bamboo in his chest, Li Er said with a smile.

"You kid, what the hell are you thinking about?"

Li Yong smiled a little embarrassedly.

"You say, in this world, who is the person that Songtsen Gampo wants the most?"

Wei Chigong scratched his head and said.

"Songtsen Gampo has always wanted to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty but couldn't get it, you kid don't want the princess to be the bait, right? Beware of the queen spanking you! ”

Cheng Biting Jin shouted.

"You can pretend to be a princess!"

Li Er didn't have a good breath when he heard it.

"Use the princess as bait, do you want a certain face? Besides, how could the princess go to the northwest? It simply doesn't make sense. ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, not to mention the question of face or shame, how could the princess go to the northwest for no reason? And Songtsen Gampo wants to marry the Tang Dynasty, not only to love the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but also to consider political factors, and even covet the princess's dowry, so even if the princess goes to the northwest, the Tubo people may not take the risk to rob it, marrying the Tang princess, that means peace, robbing the Tang princess, it means endless war, Li Yong shook his head with a smile.

"No, no, what Songtsen Gampo wants most is not the princess of the Tang Dynasty, there is a person, his intelligence is unparalleled in the world, he is only eight high, he is superior in martial arts, he can go to the sky and enter the sea, he can turn stones into gold, he can gather countless wealth with a random idea, he can make a powerful weapon in the world, guess who that person is? Do you think he is the person Songtsen Gampo wants the most? Do you think if he is the bait, can he seduce the Tibetans? ”

After Li Yong finished speaking, the entire Ganlu Hall was silent, who is this person? Do you still need to guess? It's just half of what I heard, Li Er and they heard it, what Li Yong said was clearly himself, what is Gao Badou, what martial arts are outstanding, what is in the sky and into the sea, what is a little stone into gold, except for Li Yong in this world, he is someone else, but these words did come out of Li Yong's mouth, although they are all true, but it just makes people feel, well, stinky and shameless, well, Li Yong, you stinky and shameless, Li Yong looked around and found that everyone was looking blankly, and his eyes were a little strange, he felt very strange in his heart, what was wrong? Why don't you speak? He thinks it's a good idea! After the Tibetan envoys left at today's court meeting, he has been thinking about how to hit the Tubo people hard, and after thinking about it, he remembered this good idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very reliable, what does he Li Yong mean to a country? It means to become more powerful and richer, because he has the secret recipe of glass and spirits, and any idea can bring countless wealth, because he can make firearms, and the power of firearms has long been known to the world. Li Yong didn't put forward this idea, and when he saw Li Er, they didn't have any perfect idea, so he had to say this idea, but he was also entertained by the bravado of the Tubo envoys, but he just won a battle, and he actually ran to Chang'an to threaten it, this time he didn't hurt Tubo, and if he didn't break Tubo's courage, there would really be no peace between Datang and Tubo in the future, Li Yong scratched his head a little and said.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Can't I do this idea? ”

In fact, when Li Yong said, although Li Er and they felt that Li Yong was shameless, they were also seriously thinking about Li Yong's idea, and after careful thinking, they also had to admit that what Li Yong said was very reasonable, Li Er thought to himself, if Li Yong is not a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, but a courtier of another country, he can earn a lot of wealth with just one recipe, and can also invent powerful weapons such as muskets and artillery, then he has to snatch Li Yong from anything, even if he knows that there is an ambush ahead, even if he knows that the front is dangerous, Even if he sends hundreds of thousands of troops, he has to give it a try, Li Er hasn't spoken yet, Cheng Yanjin can't hold it anymore, and shouted.

"Li Yong, don't you kid blush? How can you say that about yourself? ”

However, how thick-skinned Li Yong is, since he has spoken out, how can he blush, he spread his hands and said innocently.

"Isn't there something wrong with me?"

Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Eldest Sun Wuji and others all laughed when they heard this, but they didn't say anything, because they felt that Li Yong's idea was indeed very reliable, but could Li Yong be a bait?

Li Er said with a smile.

"Although it is a little shameless, but what Li Yong said is not wrong, Li Yong is really the person who Songtsan Gampo wants the most, when Lu Dongzan sent an envoy, he encouraged Li Yong to go to Tibet."

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"Chen also thinks that Li Yong's idea should work, if Li Yong is used as a bait, he will definitely be able to lure the Tubo people into the trap, but is it too dangerous for Li Yong?"
